Keith, big diffirents between a new design and an old design CMP (cab).
The old design cab 11 (cab), took us lots of more "restoring" time.
The new design cab 13 (cab) is much easyer to do,..........I think.

I must say Dirk & Stefan, very impressive rebuild (almost up to my standards !). Joking aside, I look forward to seeing the end result
Regards
Keith

Default What Paint are you using

Hi Dirk

What paint are you using? From your photos it looks like a good match to the unexposed paint I've been uncovering on my HUP which I'm overhauling and plan to paint this spring.

My problem is that I have not found a good color match to a current paint. Last batch I had mixed was back in 1992 and when they tried to mix it by the numbers recently it did not come out the same OD color at all.

Cheers Phil
